Just to answer the questions:

• Moderate Perl experience
• low PHP experience, but willing to learn
• It needs to be done when I get around to it, so a learning investment is OK with me
• mod_perl is (hopefully) a friend

I use phpMyAdmin for the database design and setup. I just don't want the other people who will have web access to get confused with all the options there.

A simple view of the data with editing capabilities is what I want. I would prefer Perl, of course, which is why I am here at the monastery.
